Thank you Martin. I have argued against micro services for writing systems (until you really need them) for a while and get real pushback. For me, the issue is that a monolith based on, for example, Apache Tomcat using background work threads let’s me also handle background tasks in one JVM. I have not used this pattern in a long time, but when I did it served me well. I think Java and the JVM are more suitable for this than Python and a web framework. I tried this approach with JRuby one time using background worker threads but I wouldn’t use CRuby.
